An interesting exercise is to read the first edition alongside a later one and spot the differences in content as opposed to those in grammar - many years ago I did this helping a friend who was studying the development of language used in scientific publications - each member of the class was given a well known book that had first been published, then revised over at least fifty years.... A good way to wreck a few wet nights :-(

Well I finally got to finish my Janny Wurt's collection of books (though I still have a couple to get) so I'm now starting on Terry Brooks' Shannara series.

Cheers.

Kekkaishi is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Yellow Tanabe. The series is about Yoshimori Sumimura and Tokine Yukimura, heirs to rival families of kekkai users, who must defend their school from the spirits drawn to the sacred land upon which it is built.
I’m in to chapter 23 so far.
